February Greetings

The Olympics are starting! While I know sports aren't everyone's cup of tea, I think we can all get behind the dedication, commitment, and inspirational stories of the athletes that made it to Italy. Which makes me wonder, if you could win a gold medal in quilting...what would it be? Bobbin Chicken Champion? Most UFOs? Scrappiest Stash? I'd love to know!

I am loving hosting our Stitched In Love event! Make sure to join me LIVE on Facebook at 9:30am to showcase different fabrics, patterns, or demonstrations of techniques. In addition, each day will showcase a daily sale that will expire at 11:59pm, so you won't want to miss out! 

Additionally, each purchase made in February will be entered into a gift basket raffle, so you have up to 20 chances to get as many entries into our Stitched In Love event!
